We help people around the world claim, prove, and secure their Greek citizenship through ancestry, marriage, legal registration, and official recognition. For millions of people of Greek descent, Greece is not just a place—it is part of their identity, history, and legal heritage. Our mission is to transform that connection into fully recognized Greek nationality and EU citizenship through a clear, accurate, and legally compliant process.
Obtaining Greek citizenship by descent, registering Greek ancestors, or correcting Greek civil records is far more complex than most people expect. It is not just a simple application. It requires genealogical research, retrieval of Greek birth, marriage, and death records, verification in Greek municipal registries (Dimotologio) and Male Registers (Mitroon Arrenon), correction of errors, and in many cases court recognition of foreign documents or name changes. Many applications fail or are delayed for years due to missing documents, inconsistent spellings, or outdated records.
Our team was created specifically to handle these challenges. We specialize in Greek citizenship law, civil registry research, and ancestry-based nationality claims. By combining legal expertise with historical and genealogical investigation, we ensure every case is supported by legally valid and officially recognized evidence.
We regularly work with cases involving lost records, destroyed archives, old village registries, church books, immigration name changes, and overseas civil records. Greek municipalities have changed borders, names, and record-keeping systems many times over the last century. People who emigrated often changed or simplified their names abroad. These issues must be resolved correctly before Greek nationality can be granted or recognized. Our approach is built on three principles: accuracy, transparency, and individual strategy. No two Greek citizenship cases are the same. Every application is analyzed based on Greek nationality law, civil registry rules, and administrative procedures. We create a customized legal roadmap for each person, ensuring the fastest and safest path to Greek citizenship and EU passport eligibility. We also place great importance on communication. Our clients always know where their case stands, which documents are required, and what the next steps are. We remove uncertainty and replace it with a structured, legally sound process. Whether you are seeking Greek citizenship through ancestry, marriage, adoption, court recognition, or registration of foreign records, we provide full guidance from eligibility assessment to final registration. This is not just about paperwork—it is about restoring legal identity, family history, and the right to belong.
Anyone with a Greek parent, grandparent, or sometimes even a great-grandparent may qualify for Greek citizenship by descent. Greek nationality law follows the principle of jus sanguinis, meaning citizenship is passed through bloodline. Proof is established through Greek birth certificates, marriage records, and municipal registry entries.
Yes. If you are married to a Greek citizen, you may apply for Greek citizenship after meeting residence and integration requirements under Greek nationality law. This is a legal pathway to Greek naturalization through marriage.
The Greek Golden Visa grants residency through investment in Greece. After maintaining legal residence for several years, applicants may qualify for Greek citizenship by naturalization, provided they meet residence and integration requirements.
A professional Greek genealogy and civil registry search can locate Greek birth certificates, marriage records, death records, municipal registries, and male registry records. Many older Greek records exist only in handwritten archives that require in-person research in Greece.
Yes, but Greek civil records must first be corrected. This usually requires a Greek court order or administrative correction so that all documents match before submitting a Greek citizenship application.
If your legal name was changed abroad, Greece requires recognition of a foreign court decision or a Greek legal procedure to update Greek birth, marriage, and family registry records before citizenship or passport issuance.
No. Greek language proficiency is not required for Greek citizenship by descent. Language requirements apply only to Greek naturalization, not to ancestry-based citizenship.
The timeline depends on whether all Greek civil records exist and are correct. If records must be located or corrected, the process usually takes 12 to 36 months from start to final Greek nationality recognition.
Greek citizenship alone does not create tax residency. You only become subject to Greek taxation if you live in Greece or earn income there.
